Peaceful and Quiet and Birdsongs

The Most Refreshing Feeling
July 30 2016:
This was one of the MOST refreshing feelings ever! It was nearly 100 degrees yesterday and we went swimming! Felt so good!!! Thomas loves floating in the water … being still and quiet. There were a few really cool clouds to give us brief breaks from the gorgeous son! xoxo

Improv LEGO Play
July 28 2016:
We laughed and laughed and laughed so hard last night playing with these. It was Thomas‘ turn for family activity. He wanted us to choose from his pre-selected LEGOs. Lillian was adamant that she use her minifigures instead of his. So you can tell which were hers.
I chose the helicopter and the motorcycle. Larry, Curly, and Mo rode on top of the helicopter wings and motorcycle man rode for a while with his arms detached. It was a time for oceans of silliness and laughter and complete and total improv! So FUN!!

Carefree and Living it Up
July 28 2016:
Team TLC sunset walk on the Damonte Ranch trail. So very cool! We saw a huge fish or two jumping and having a ball in the water. So carefree and living it up!
Plus got to see a few nutria swimming around. I had no idea there were fish in that water. Lots of talking, walking, observing, exploring, and discovery. I simply love, love, love our walks together …. and taking pictures …. Taking pictures inspires me! xoxo

July 2016 Date Day with Lillian
August 10 2016:
July’s date day was delayed due to our travels to and from the 2016 Chromosome 18 Conference. So we did something different for this date day.
After dinner Lillian and I headed to Whole Foods to pick out a cookie from the “Cookie Bar” … cheapest dessert ever …. and made with real food ingredients!
Next up we took our cookies to Audrey Harris Park so we could eat with a lovely view. When we got there, we saw the park was closed due to an event down below at the Bartley Ranch stage. We decided to go for a walk around Bartley Ranch and have our dessert later.
We enjoyed a wonderful time looking at the old equipment and buildings, trees, sky, and sunset. After our walk we enjoyed a slow, quiet, and peaceful drive the long way back to our end of town. I just love this drive of taking in all the farms and older houses and simply how peaceful it seems.
Next up was to head to Geiger Way Lookout to enjoy those cookies with a view. It was dark by the time we arrived so the pictures our fuzzy, yet they capture some of the beautiful essence. So incredibly wonderful.
And, last we enjoyed another slow and peaceful drive back home. I’d rank this one up there with one of our most beautiful date days. Simple and wonderful. xoxo
